SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 484,563, dated October18, 1892.

Application filed June 17, 1892. Serial No. 437,082- (No model.)Patented in Germany November 2, 1891, N0. 624.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ELISE SYLLWASSOHY, residing at Magdeburg-Neustadt,in the Province of Saxony and Kingdom of Prussia, Germany, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Holders for Skeins or Balls ofWorsted, Yarn, and other Thread-Like, Voolen, and Cotton Material; and Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in theart to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention has been patented in Germany November 2, 1891, No. 624.

Thisinvention relates to devices forholding balls of worsted, yarn, orother thread-like material for the use of k-nitters, crochet-workers,and others, the said devices being constructed and adapted to beattached to the edge of a table or other projecting part of a piece offurniture.

The said invention consists in the construction and combination of partshereinafter particularly set forth and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a vertical section ofa device embodying my invention, the ball of yarn or worsted beingindicated by a dotted line. Fig. 2 represents a perspective view of thesaid device without the yarn.

In the said drawings, a designates a bent spring-clip, approximatelyU-shaped and provided with reinforcing-plates fon the inner faces of itsends, these plates being pressed by the said spring-clip against theupper face and lower face, respectively, of the projecting part of atable-top or other flat projecting part of an article of furniture onwhich the said spring-clip may be fitted, the position of the latterbeing usually though not necessarily horizontal. A plate 1), also andmore eX- actly U-shaped, is pivoted at the middle of its curve by a stude to the upper side of this spring-clip. The upheld ends of this plateare broadened to receive a rod 0, on which the yarn is Wound, the balld, formed by such winding, being between collars g g, fixed on the saidrod. The said plate constitutes an efficient support for the said rod.

The above-described device is conveniently fastened to a table or otherarticle of furniture near the worker and the ball is then turned intosuch a position as will most readily allow the yarn or worsted to beunwound therefrom. When the worker moves away she can easily detach theyarn or worsted ball and its holding device and carry the same with her.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. A rod for supporting a ball of yarn or other thread-like material, incombination with a bent plate or support in which its ends are mounted,a clip for attaching the said support to a table or other article offurniture, and a pivot connecting the said support to the said clip,While allowing the former to turn independently of the latter,substantially as set forth.

a 2. In combination with the spring-clip a and its reinforcing strips f,the bent plate b, the ball-supporting rod 0, extending across from endto end of the said plate and provided with collars g g, and thepivot-stud 6, whereby the said plate is movably attached to the saidspring-clip, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ELISE SYLLWASSOHY.
